[OSGeo-Discuss] Code of Conduct... followup to avoid lobbies

[Luigi Pirelli]

IMHO are common rule to avoid conflict of interest. Obviously it' really
hard to avoid lobbying buying or nominating friends, common rule to reduce
this are "one person, one vote", election rotation, etc.

"what extra would gain with this rule", that a nomination have to be
recognized by a community, not strictly related to a company. I personally
nominated or seconded many people I never met in my life, but I followed in
their work or presentations during conferences or due their code
contributions.... kind of web of thrust.
